Abstract: Building a creation-oriented country needs to cultivate creative talents, while the model of professional education which is based on knowledge transmission is not conductive to the cultivation of creative talents. General education can not only fully explore a college student’s right brain which is also called creative brain, but also contribute to the corcurate development of a student’s intellectual and non-intellectual factors, thus promoting the cultivation of creative talents. Colleges should attempt to establish a kind of correct concept of general education, arrange reasonable general courses, try to develop a cooperative and inspired classroom teaching model, in order to meet the needs of cultivation of creative talents.
